Program Description

Little Opera is a comprehensive nine-month after-school program that challenges the assumption that opera is not for everyone. We bring together 2nd-7th grade students of all backgrounds to create, rehearse, and perform an original opera.
Our students do everything, from start to finish. They work with professional Bay Area artists to:
• Write a story
• Create a libretto
• Compose music
• Choreograph dances and movement
• Design sets and costumes
• Perform!

Program Description

New Performance Group and Studio NPG are dedicated to deepening intercultural communication and exchange through the performing arts and arts education. Communication and exchange occur within "micro-cultures" living in the same city, or may stretch across oceans. In either case, the larger goal is mutual understanding, which on a global level promotes peace and harmony in the world. This philosophy informs our work, whether on stage or in the classroom.
